This is a list of world bantamweight boxing champions, as recognized by the four major sanctioning organizations in boxing:

World titles have been historically recognized by the International Boxing Union (IBU) from 1913-1963 and the New York State Athletic Commission (NYSAC) from 1920 to 1977. Both the IBU and the NYSAC became members of the World Boxing Council.
